LESTER HOLT, anchor:The tears flowed freely in
Norway
today as a nation shocked and saddened by Friday's bombing and shooting massacre searched for comfort on a day of mourning. The death toll stands at 93, most of them kids, teenagers, trapped on a tiny island that a gunman turned into his personal killing ground. Rarely do we get into the mind of a confessed mass killer so soon after such a horror; tonight, however, the man who police say admits to the attacks is talking. But sadly, his words may only add further trauma to a hurting nation.
NBC
's
Martin Fletcher
has new details from
Oslo
tonight.
Martin
, good evening.

MARTIN FLETCHER reporting:Hi. Good evening,
Lester
. A chilling, racist picture of the confessed killer is emerging from his own writings. He wrote that he wanted to bring about a revolution that would end the centuries old Muslim colonization of
Europe.
United in grief.

Mr. JENS STOLTENBERG:

FLETCHER:Norway
's prime minister called Friday's bomb and shooting attacks a national tragedy.

Unidentified Woman:

FLETCHER:In
Oslo
's 17th century cathedral today,
King Harald
and
Queen Sonja
cried with their people.
Ninety-three
victims, including about 80 teenagers, sacrificed to one man's obsession to transform society. His weapon: mass killing. Charged with terrorism, tomorrow
Anders Breivik
will be arraigned in court. His lawyer said he wants to explain, but he already laid it all out on the
Internet
. Friday,
Breivik
posted a chilling
1500
-page manifesto, which he says took him years to write, with chunks of it lifted from writings by the
Unabomber
. In the very first sentence, he wrote, "It is better to kill too many than not enough." Later, "We do not want to do this, but we're left with no choice." And finally, "I believe this will be my last entry. It is now Friday,
July 22nd
." Within hours,
Breivik
killed seven in
Oslo
and at least another 86 on the island.

Mr. ARSHAD ALI (Survivor):To my mom, I said there's a shooting on the island. I don't -- I don't know what's going on.
And I
love you. I think I said, I don't know if I will see you again, but at least I love you.

FLETCHER:The search continued today for bodies, little hope that any of the missing will be found alive. Police also searching the island for signs of a possible second shooter.

Mr. SVEINUNG SPONHEIM (Acting Oslo Chief of Police):He said -- says that he was acting alone, but we have to make sure that that's true.

FLETCHER:NBC
's
Jay Gray
spoke exclusively to
Breivik
's lawyer.

Mr. GEIR LIPPESTAD (Anders Breivik's Attorney):He believes in a revolution. And he believes that the only way he can make revolution is through violence.

JAY GRAY reporting:Does he feel as if he's accomplished his goal?

Mr. LIPPESTAD:Well, it's difficult to understand, of course, but in his head, he takes pride in this. Yes.

FLETCHER:Breivik
's goal, to stop Muslims from emigrating to
Europe
, to end European attempts to have different peoples live side-by-side, what they call multiculturalism. Growing numbers across
Europe
agree.
Right-wing
parties are becoming more powerful.
Iver Neumann
is no right-winger, but facts are facts.

Mr. IVER NEUMANN (Norwegian Institute of International Affairs):I grew up in a lily
white society
. Now every fourth person in
Oslo
is born of a non-Western parentage. That is a lot of change in a relatively small number of years.

FLETCHER:In
Norway
,
Islam
is the second religion now. Most Muslims are recent immigrants and happy to be here.

Unidentified Man:And we live in peace and love now here, this country, and we love
Norway
.

FLETCHER:Breivik
called his manifesto a European declaration of independence. He wrote that the massacre would serve as a tool to market his manifesto, a confessed killer with a message.
